eDITOr’S COmmeNT<br />
All set for <strong>2010</strong>?<br />
One of the most frequent requests I receive from industry<br />
contacts is for more information on what’s happening within<br />
the field service sector and our latest project is designed to<br />
answer some of those questions. Turn to p2 for the results.<br />
While the publication of our survey results adds further<br />
value to our Buyer’s <strong>Guide</strong>, the wealth of information on the<br />
industry’s suppliers and their wide variety of products will<br />
also prove invaluable to many service managers in the year<br />
ahead. With economic experts predicting a slowly improving<br />
economy throughout <strong>2010</strong>, the need to control field service<br />
operations in a cost effective manner will remain high on the<br />
agenda. While some have achieved this through reductions<br />
in the workforce, others have looked at the bigger picture<br />
and invested in technology to deliver efficiencies.<br />
The need to source the most appropriate<br />
technology that will match the<br />
expectations of field service providers<br />
remains an essential major element at the<br />
start of any project. For those considering<br />
cost-effective investment, the <strong>Service</strong><br />
<strong>Management</strong> Buyer’s <strong>Guide</strong> provides<br />
quick and efficient access to those<br />
best placed to deliver this.<br />

Th e latest <strong>Service</strong> <strong>Management</strong> industry<br />
survey has again delivered fascinating<br />
results, the major points of which are<br />
discussed by Steve Downton.<br />
As we move into a new decade, with the<br />
recession still having an effect on many<br />
companies, it is perhaps helpful to note<br />
the changes and consider the impact on the service<br />
environment over the last couple of years.<br />
In many cases, service has been the saving grace<br />
in recent recessionary times, providing an effective<br />
source of revenue and causing a change in focus away<br />
from service as a stand-alone offering into a much<br />
more strategic perspective. The emphasis has moved<br />
towards how service can provide support to the whole<br />
business, even to the extent of regarding service as a<br />
product.<br />
The following data, derived from a recent survey<br />
of service executives undertaken by <strong>Service</strong><br />
<strong>Management</strong>, shows how the changed environment<br />
and the different trends of service and customer<br />
demands appears to be setting the way forward,<br />
with little likelihood of regression to pre-recession<br />
thinking. The questionnaire was designed to probe<br />
service executives on their opinion of a number of<br />
areas associated with delivered services, consideration<br />
of the use of technology tools and the positioning of<br />
service in the business as a whole.<br />
The underlying opinion conveyed through the<br />
questionnaire is that the post-recession era service<br />
operations will be brand driven, with service delivered<br />
across the business, instead of service as an add-on to<br />
an existing product brand.<br />
The correlation between service and the business<br />
– the vast majority of respondents have highlighted<br />
company strategy, fi nancial performance and<br />
customer requirements as the three top infl uencers<br />
on the service operation (with Implementation of new<br />
technology closely behind). A shift is evident towards<br />
the service operation becoming recognised as an<br />
important asset of the business.<br />
The answers to question 2 indicate that most<br />
organisations believe that service will continue to<br />
contribute to the revenues of the organisation at, or<br />
slightly higher than, last year’s level, which records<br />
service as a major contributor of business revenues<br />
(nearly 60% on average).<br />
The answers to question 3 suggest that there is no<br />
single important driver of services revenue growth.<br />
However, the drivers suggested are all based closely<br />
round the customer either through new offers, new<br />
customers, or from existing customers stipulating that<br />
new ideas will be necessary; developing new offerings<br />
will attract new customers, and create new demand

The answers to question 4 confirm that customers<br />
are continuing to be demanding and that their<br />
demands will not cease. Many suppliers are<br />
recognising that differentiation can be obtained<br />
through service level agreements, by working very<br />
closely with the customer they are able to tailor<br />
service explicitly to customer needs.<br />
The answers to question 5 underline that services<br />
offered are becoming critical to competitive<br />
differentiation, with nearly 70% of respondents of the<br />
opinion that service as a differentiator has become<br />
either much more important or somewhat more<br />
important than before. Reinforcing that even in an<br />
era of commoditisation, service is able to provide<br />
the necessary differentiation to attract and keep<br />
customers.<br />
Question 6 considered the issue of staffing levels.<br />

engineers was reported for 2009 – caused by cost<br />

pressure. However, the increased demands placed<br />
on service operations during a period when product<br />
lifetimes have been extended, has meant that field<br />
service numbers were maintained at the same level<br />
across the period to a large extent. There has also<br />
been a significant reduction in unforced attrition<br />
levels, as salaries remained fairly static and staff were<br />
not prepared to gamble with job security. Many more<br />
staff will be coming up to retirement age over the<br />
next five years, although many of these will continue<br />
to work until the economic situation becomes better.<br />
There is expected to be a ‘shift to the left’ (increased<br />
use of virtual tools) but this will only begin to be<br />
evident towards the end of <strong>2010</strong>, as the investment in<br />
technology begins to be applied more effectively.<br />
Question 7 was targeted at understanding the<br />
level of investment to be anticipated. In line with<br />
question 6, the consensus is towards a slight increase<br />
in investment which will continue if the economic<br />
environment achieves greater stability. The main<br />

conclusion to draw from the answers is that almost<br />
none of the survey participants is expecting investment<br />
to be reduced which means that investment is on-going<br />
in the service environment (given its very low base over<br />
the last five years, this is not surprising).<br />
The answers to question 8 are completely in line<br />
with what has been happening towards the end of<br />
2009 and is expected to continue into <strong>2010</strong>: certain<br />
solutions have remained very strong despite much<br />
consolidation in the service technology market place.<br />
With major players entering the service management<br />
market place, investment is only likely to increase.<br />
Question 8 illustrates the focus of solutions is to manage<br />
communication to and from the customer through an<br />
integrated solution, utilising staff and tools to optimise<br />
deployment thereby providing an overall umbrella of<br />
cost-effective support for the customer.<br />

examine the detail behind the answers.<br />

management solutions in place and their ability to<br />
manage the service operation. What is significant<br />
is that the majority of respondents still use a<br />
system designed and built in-house. This derives<br />
from a time when service management solutions<br />
were predominantly self-built by IT and service<br />
departments keen to demonstrate their value<br />
and uniqueness. As the service software industry<br />
came of age, this uniqueness was then combined<br />
with a standard solution to produce a complex<br />
bespoke solution. Many businesses are busy<br />
reviewing their service technology strategy, to<br />
decide on how to take advantage of improving<br />
software and internal support from the rest of the<br />
business to achieve a fully integrated business<br />
solution (closed loop).<br />

Question 10 shows that (apart from a small<br />
percentage of participants – 15%) the remaining<br />
participants not already using scheduling systems<br />
are either considering this as an option, or are<br />
actively planning an implementation. This is<br />
a significant shift of opinion from as little as a<br />
year ago. When we study question 11 which<br />
asks about mobile solutions a similar scenario is<br />
revealed – the only major difference being the<br />
increased number of those already using a mobile<br />
solution.<br />
The percentage of those that perceive see no<br />
value is still 15% - (in normal product-introduction<br />
parlance) this group is referred to as the laggard<br />
rump of the market, and difficult to influence, and<br />

<strong>2010</strong>: Revving up<br />
the focus on revenue<br />
Sumair Dutta, senior research analyst - service<br />
management, AberdeenGroup, provides opinion<br />
on how the coming year will develop according to<br />
his organisation’s industry research<br />
More with less. We have<br />
consistently heard those words<br />
used across organisations,<br />
particularly due to the uncertain<br />
global economy. This holds true<br />
for service and manufacturing<br />
firms, that have spent most<br />
of 2008 and 2009 attaining<br />
the ‘less’ part of the equation<br />
through cost cutting exercises.<br />
For a number of organisations,<br />
these cuts have come in the<br />
way of significant workforce<br />
reductions. But as we turn<br />
the corner to <strong>2010</strong>, we are<br />
beginning to see signs of<br />
investments in efficiency and in<br />
service-led revenue; shifting the<br />
focus to the ‘more’ part of the<br />
equation. At Aberdeen’s 2009<br />
Chief <strong>Service</strong> Officer (CSO)<br />
Summit, 31% of assembled<br />
CSOs indicated that revenue<br />
generation was their top goal<br />
for <strong>2010</strong>, more so than cost<br />
and customer management<br />
goals. This has also been<br />
confirmed by recent research<br />
on workforce optimisation, a<br />
function usually associated<br />
with cost cutting and cost<br />
management. Thirty-four<br />
per cent of organisations in<br />
a November 2009 survey on<br />
workforce scheduling indicated<br />
that revenue generation was<br />
a major pressure driving these<br />
organisations to improve the<br />
utilisation of their workforce.<br />
That said, cost management,<br />
particularly management<br />
of cost tied to labour, is still<br />
vital to the sustainability of<br />
the service organisations.<br />
However, in the pursuit of<br />
sustainable cost structures,<br />
organisations are three<br />
times as likely to want to do<br />
more with current resource<br />
levels in <strong>2010</strong> as opposed to<br />
slashing workforce and other<br />
resources.

activities such as mergers or acquisitions or moving<br />
away from supplying service themselves and looking<br />
to an outsourcing option (as illustrated in question<br />
13).<br />
Parts deployment and movement is often<br />
regarded as an afterthought of the service operation,<br />
but such considerations become more important<br />
as the service environment accepts remote support<br />
and delivered parts as important facets of service<br />
and acknowledges that integration of the total<br />
service delivery mechanism is now a necessity to<br />
ensure cost-effectiveness. Question 12 shows that<br />
the two most common methods of part deployment<br />
are courier and field engineer, highlighting that the<br />
low-cost courier is an effective option when no visit<br />
is required.<br />
The overall picture painted by this survey is of a<br />
business community which is looking afresh at their<br />
service operation and the way it integrates into the<br />
business. There is more awareness of the value of<br />

SERVICE MANAGEMENT<br />

SERvIcE<br />
MAnAGEMEnT<br />
SOfTWARE<br />
The trend within this area of supply seems to be for the various solutions<br />
to gain increasingly more functions, with many of these available on<br />
a modular basis. <strong>Service</strong> providers are accordingly presented with the<br />
choice of adding these as and when their operation requires.<br />
The depth and variety of choice available to field<br />
service suppliers seeking to implement service<br />
management solutions is comprehensive<br />
and continues to offer more food for thought. There<br />
has been a constant flow of announcements from<br />
suppliers either launching new product that includes<br />
increased functionality and features offered, or entering<br />
into collaboration with other providers supplying<br />
complementary products. Either of these invariably<br />
mean that the end user is presented with a growing<br />
number of options.<br />
The field service industry has also learnt some hard<br />
lessons about implementation. As a result, there seems<br />
to be much more awareness around the subject of<br />
change management, for example. The need to discuss<br />
the project with the workforce and ensure that everyone<br />
appreciates the benefits available, to both individuals<br />
and the business as a whole, is now widely understood.<br />
There continues to be some debate as to how this should<br />
be handled in order to gain buy-in from the workforce<br />
and ensure that the investment is successful, but the<br />
situation is at least moving in the right direction.<br />
Another area that has seen increased development<br />
is that of browser-based server solutions, encouraging<br />
more companies to consider enhancing their offerings<br />
through the introduction of remote service options and<br />
other online features. Several suppliers of traditional<br />
licensed solutions are now offering Software as a <strong>Service</strong><br />
systems and new providers are also emerging as this<br />
becomes more attractive to the field service sector. This<br />
would indicate that there is scope for more activity in this<br />
and other associated areas throughout <strong>2010</strong>.<br />
One of the results of the various new developments<br />
outlined above has been that companies are now<br />
able to choose the timing of the introduction of new<br />
features. Rather than having to come to terms with the<br />
“The result has allowed<br />
many service suppliers<br />
to improve the way they<br />
manage and support<br />
their mobile workers.”<br />
entire content of a comprehensive solution, companies<br />
are now more able to introduce these on a gradual<br />
basis. The timing can either be selected to give the<br />
workforce or regional departments time to adjust, or<br />
used to add additional features as and when required<br />
as the business develops in the future. If handled<br />
correctly, the workforce is presented with a more<br />
manageable proposition, while the company<br />
benefits from only paying for the features actually<br />
used.<br />
The subject of integration has also become<br />
an increasingly important topic, as field service<br />
suppliers continue to evolve and demand more<br />
effective interaction from their solutions. This<br />
has seen a number of systems being chosen not<br />
only for performing their core functions, but also<br />
for their ability to integrate with other systems.<br />
The result has allowed many service suppliers<br />
to improve the way they manage and support<br />
their mobile workers and raise customer service<br />
levels through improved communication, while<br />
also creating invoices more promptly through the<br />
successful integration of different systems. The<br />
above has additionally allowed many companies<br />
to migrate to more comprehensive options,<br />
such as customer relationship management<br />
or enterprise resource planning solutions. The<br />
2009 <strong>Service</strong> <strong>Management</strong> magazine feature<br />
on service management systems carried the<br />
headline ‘All singing, all dancing’ to illustrate<br />
the way in which this area of the market is<br />
developing. As increasingly more companies<br />
realise the options available to them to improve<br />
their service delivery and make savings<br />
through gains in efficiency, the uptake of more<br />
comprehensive solutions will continue to rise in<br />
number. Examples of this have already been seen<br />
in the case study articles published by <strong>Service</strong><br />
<strong>Management</strong> magazine in 2009 and will be<br />
followed by more in the year ahead. n

cOMMunIcATIOnS<br />
The role of mobile communications within the field service industry<br />
remains an essential one that continues to be the cornerstone without<br />
which many systems and processes could not function effectively. There<br />
is now a fascinating comparison to be made between the companies that<br />
have embraced the technology and those that have not.<br />
W<br />
hen examining the field service industry<br />
it is important to remember that the<br />
majority of companies fall into the 50<br />
employees and less category, which means that<br />
many of these are unlikely to have either the funds<br />
or the need to invest in complex enterprise-wide<br />
solutions. While the majority of large and medium<br />
sized operations are now using their second, third or<br />
fourth generation of mobile communications solutions,<br />
smaller companies provide the most examples of those<br />
considering these for the first time.<br />
While this is a sweeping statement and does<br />
not include the many smaller enterprises that have<br />
invested in mobility solutions for a number of years,<br />
it should be recognised that the options previously<br />
available did not necessarily suit the requirements<br />
of those with less than 50 in the workforce. Many<br />
end users were of the opinion that the technology<br />
available at the time was not sufficiently robust in a<br />
number of areas to engender the confidence to invest.<br />
lack of coverage in too many areas combined with<br />
other difficulties, including the sending of pictures<br />
and other large files, were seen as stumbling blocks<br />
that convinced them that remaining with paper-based<br />
reporting was the best option for their company.<br />
Over the course of the last two years, however, this<br />
opinion has been heard far less often and increasingly<br />
more service managers have changed their point<br />
of view. networks are now recognised to be more<br />
robust than was previously the case, supported by<br />
the growing number of companies choosing mobile<br />
devices that include image capture and other features<br />
that considerably increase the functionality options<br />
available to mobile workers.<br />
“Networks are now more<br />
robust and a growing<br />
number of companies are<br />
choosing mobile devices<br />
that include image capture<br />
and other features.”<br />
Opinion has also changed toward the devices<br />
themselves, some of which were considered to<br />
be too cumbersome and limited – in terms of<br />
both their ability to run more than one application<br />
and the inability to remain functional throughout<br />
the working day without having to be recharged.<br />
The considerable number of options currently<br />
available range from the smartphone through<br />
to fully ruggedised laptops, meaning that field<br />
service providers are far more likely to find a<br />
device suited to their needs. Mobile workers are<br />
now able to carry out a wide choice of operations<br />
that allow companies to receive real-time updates<br />
to both measure performance and identify where<br />
improvements need to be made.<br />
As a result, employers can now take advantage<br />
of this improved clarity of their service operation,<br />
ensuring that they meet their duty of care<br />
requirements through such options as the ability<br />
to pinpoint the location of workers in the field and<br />
providing ‘panic buttons’ to alert the office when<br />
assistance is required. On the other hand, some<br />
companies have reported that productivity has<br />
improved purely through field workers knowing<br />
that their movements are tracked. The ‘no<br />
place to hide’ aspect convinces them that every<br />
movement is analysed and it is now no longer<br />
possible to call into the café between calls.<br />
The mobile worker is now increasingly able to<br />
deliver a number of service options with far more<br />
accuracy and confidence to the benefit of the<br />
company, the employee and, most importantly<br />
of all, the customer. Mobility solutions are<br />
accordingly seen as essential for the continued<br />
smooth running of many businesses that would<br />
find it very difficult to function effectively<br />
without them. n

SuPPORT<br />
While the more informed field service suppliers realised<br />
the importance of operational efficiency many years ago,<br />
increasingly more are investigating the growing list of<br />
options that are available to aid their businesses.<br />
The last 12 months has seen many service<br />
companies forced into making savings<br />
wherever possible as the economic downturn<br />
continued to make its presence felt. While a number<br />
of businesses in the service sector reported that<br />
their list of clients had remained stable, they found<br />
revenue generation had declined through customers<br />
negotiating reduced levels and lower prices of service<br />
as they grappled with their own financial constraints.<br />
While this has obviously been a difficult time for many,<br />
those that have reacted positively to the challenge have<br />
successfully introduced economies in the majority of<br />
cases. As always, there is no definitive solution in a ‘one<br />
size fits all’ remedy that will match the requirements of<br />
every field service provider. It requires the two main<br />
essential abilities to look at the individual operation in<br />
complex detail, combined with the aptitude to stand<br />
back and identify the areas that could be improved.<br />
fortunately for the field service industry there are<br />
a wealth of options available that range from updating<br />
the company’s call centre to the outsourcing of the<br />
entire logistics operation. Whilst the latter is obviously<br />
an extreme example, there have been a number of<br />
cases where businesses have achieved significant<br />
savings by outsourcing their spares handling<br />
operations. This has enabled them to reduce the<br />
number of regional depots, exercise greater control<br />
of inventory and improve the parts supply process to<br />
engineers, resulting in further gains in efficiency in<br />
addition to the obvious cost savings.<br />
The above may be a step too far for many service<br />
providers, of course, but they nevertheless have a<br />
considerable number of choices at their disposal.<br />
Adjusting the methods of parts distribution, for example,<br />
has been shown to save time in the field, allowing<br />
engineers to receive spares more promptly and provide<br />
a greater chance of meeting SlA requirements. Another<br />
alternative is the option of updating the system used<br />
to manage the repair or further processing of spares<br />
returning from the field. Improving this operation<br />
“Adjustments to the<br />
company’s field service<br />
support processes could<br />
make the difference<br />
between profit and loss in<br />
<strong>2010</strong>.”<br />
can assist cash flow by reducing the number of<br />
parts awaiting repair or, in extreme cases, rattling<br />
around in the back of engineers’ vans. If parts and<br />
equipment can be returned to the field with the<br />
minimum of delay, this will also reduce the number<br />
of times that new spares have to be purchased in an<br />
emergency to resolve the customer’s problem when<br />
essential equipment is out of action.<br />
All of the above can equally assist field service<br />
providers in their quest to reduce carbon<br />
footprint, an aspect that is increasingly important<br />
when bidding for new contracts. There are, of<br />
course, a number of ways to facilitate this and<br />
environmental improvements can be difficult to<br />
measure effectively, so those looking to improve<br />
field service support could be wise to utilise the<br />
consultancy services of the sector’s suppliers.<br />
With indications continuing to predict that<br />
economic recovery will only take place on a gradual<br />
basis, adjustments to the company’s field service<br />
support processes could make the difference<br />
between profit and loss in <strong>2010</strong>. Examination of<br />
the options available for call centre and helpdesk<br />
solutions, various aspects of logistics operations,<br />
training and recruiting of both new and existing<br />
employees along with the requirements of vehicle<br />
leasing, fitting and racking can all provide significant<br />
improvements. If the company’s management<br />
and staff embrace these with enthusiasm, return<br />
on investment can be both rapid and long lasting,<br />
continuing to deliver benefits in the years to come. n

It’s cheaper<br />
We shrink your costs because your engineers travel less<br />
It doesn’t matter where in the UK they are, your engineers are on<br />
average only two and a half miles from a ByBox location. With a<br />
network of 18,000 drop boxes at 1300 locations around the UK with<br />
a network in France and the Republic of Ireland also, we are the UK’s<br />
biggest, most accessible, most reliable in-night distribution network–<br />
one huge factor in helping us minimise your distribution costs.<br />
It’s quicker<br />
����������������������������<br />
We deliver over twenty million parcels per year with<br />
near perfect reliability.<br />
Our distribution is reliable by design, not by accident. Here’s why:<br />

order cut off.<br />
It’s more secure<br />
100% visibility of stock<br />
With goods in a warehouse, a van or a Forward Stock Location<br />
most distributors can probably let you see all of your stock some<br />
of the time or, more likely, some of your stock all of the time.<br />
But with ByBox’s Thinventory platform you can see all of your<br />
stock, all of the time.<br />
It’s simpler<br />
We can manage your whole supply<br />

It’s greener<br />
Lower Carbon emissions<br />
We care passionately about slowing global warming and<br />
believe we can play a key role in reducing our industry’s<br />
carbon emissions. Carbon emissions from our transport<br />
operations (accounting for 80% of our entire carbon footprint)<br />
are significantly lower than the industry norm. Here’s why:<br />
����� ����� �������� ��� ������ ����� �������� ����� ������� ����<br />
congestion so less gas is guzzled needlessly<br />
����� ��������������������������������������������������������<br />
into a single locker-bank stop; multiple returns collected<br />
simultaneously and fewer stops means less emissions<br />
���� �������� �� ����� ���� ��� ���� ���������� ������ �����<br />
Thinventory and they tell us this cuts dramatically the<br />
number of inefficient sameday deliveries made by other, less<br />
efficient transport systems.

da<br />
systems<br />
delivering superior<br />
service: On-time<br />
DA Systems offers NX Framework, the fi rst<br />
single mobile data solution specifi cally designed<br />
to cater for the evolving requirements of<br />
today’s multi-contract, multi-customer, service<br />
management environment.<br />
meet Customers’ True Needs<br />
nX framework from dA Systems enables<br />
companies to save on the traditional expense and<br />
time spent sourcing additional mobile applications<br />
in order to address a new customer or contract<br />
requirement. As customers become more<br />
demanding, so service providers have to provide<br />
a more bespoke offering. Traditional off-the-shelf<br />
mobile applications struggle to cater for the assorted<br />
needs of today’s customer.<br />
every Customer is Different<br />
no longer will companies that service multiple<br />
customers have to either source new mobile<br />
applications from different software suppliers,<br />
or purchase a number of applications from their<br />
incumbent provider. The problem has always<br />
been that each customer presents differences -<br />
sometimes major, sometimes subtle - in the way<br />
each service provision is required to be delivered.<br />
This is compounded further where multiple<br />
customers each require multiple disparate services<br />
to be performed. <strong>Service</strong> professionals may have<br />
to be re-trained every time a new application is<br />
sourced and will not be able to service multiple<br />
contracts without carrying several devices - so<br />
realistically will have to return to base each time. As<br />
well as the obvious cost implications, this presents<br />
operational restrictions in terms of productivity.<br />
Applications that Adapt<br />
nX framework alleviates this by being able to deliver<br />
a solution offering a way for service providers to<br />
deploy a single application which behaves according<br />
to each customer contract specifi cation. This<br />
ensures maximum engineer productivity, combined<br />
with reduced application cost.<br />
Lower Cost of Ownership<br />
nX framework enables the rapid development<br />
of 100% bespoke, mobile data applications. This<br />
fully managed solution is delivered as a managed<br />
service which reduces user costs and provides all<br />
the benefi ts of security, resilience and support -<br />
removing the need for upgrades, extra resources<br />
and new infrastructure. It comprises all the elements<br />
across network connectivity, including; security,<br />
data and device management to allow rapid<br />
development of bespoke, hand-held end-user<br />
applications. It is not tied to any particular brand,<br />
model, network or type of device.<br />
business process management not<br />
re-engineering<br />
Requiring no additional infrastructure, nX<br />
framework integrates quickly and seamlessly into<br />
any back-offi ce system - with an intuitive interface<br />
and familiar devices reducing the need for user<br />
training. nX framework is not an off-the shelf or<br />
‘toolkit’ product, which means that companies won’t<br />
have to change their business processes to fi t around<br />
the solution. With applications always being 100%<br />
fi t for purpose, fi eld service providers can take full<br />
advantage of their own uSPs and build upon the<br />
competitive edge that this provides.<br />
Contact DA Systems<br />

Digital EDition 22<br />
A flexible solution to meet<br />
your business needs<br />
DX Business Direct provides a range of standard<br />
and customised in-night logistics services – all<br />
of which are an integral part of our customers’<br />
overall end to end supply chain solutions<br />
The Challenge<br />
The filed service industry is becoming an<br />
increasingly competitive environment across all<br />
of its varying sectors. Rapid customer response<br />
times must be balanced with the requirement<br />
to drive out cost. High productivity levels must<br />
be achieved alongside ever improving levels of<br />
customer service. These are amongst a few of the<br />
challenges facing senior managers in filed service<br />
organisations.<br />
The Solution<br />
designed to support field based engineers,<br />
ParcelXchange is the only 100% intelligent locker<br />
network providing a nationwide “virtual depot”<br />
network for companies with a need for secure<br />
delivery solutions. designed to compliment the<br />
ParcelXchange network, dX business direct<br />
offers In-boot and PudO. In-boot ensures spare<br />
parts are delivered into and collected directly<br />
from a field engineer’s vehicle. This is of particular<br />
benefit to engineers in remote locations where the<br />
ParcelXchange service may not be as convenient.<br />
PudO (Pick up drop Off) uses an extensive third<br />
party networked to offer the collection and return of<br />
spare parts via manned locations throughout the uK.<br />
The benefits<br />
Increase the effectiveness and productivity of<br />
your field based workforce, 90% of deliveries &<br />
collections being made pre-6.30am and all deliveries<br />
and collections guaranteed pre-8am<br />
Enhance your ability to consistently achieve and<br />
improve the service level commitments you make to<br />
your customers with peace of mind that your spare<br />
parts are where you need them to be.<br />
Improve the efficiency of your stock and spare<br />
parts management process by providing full visibility<br />
of parts in circulation.<br />
Reduce <strong>Service</strong> <strong>Management</strong> costs by decreasing<br />
the number of physical stock locations you operate.<br />
Manage your inventory costs through a more<br />
efficient reverse inventory process.<br />
Rapid Stock turnaround eradicates the need for<br />
“comfort holding” and helps to reduce van stock,<br />
which means that parts can be repaired and put<br />
back into circulation immediately.<br />
The Company<br />
dX business direct, part of the dX Group, has its<br />
operation headquarters in nuneaton, at the heart of<br />
the uK’s transport network.<br />
